about

as with the riddle, life glimpsed in three stages

Frontispiece to the Song of Los

lyrics

In the morning, in the morning, in the morning
I never saw for true
What the angels and the demons
And the ghosts inside me always said they’d do
When the dark, dark, dark of the blackest night I’ve known
Did the wretched sky turn
And I knew well the taste of that treacherous wind
For my sins were the songs that were blowin’

In the evening, in the evening, in the evening
I never felt so sure
Of the mad moon’s lonely gleam
Though she always seemed know all that lay in store
For the fearful, the foolish and the wicked man alike
And the righteous man too
So she whispers strange secrets in the ears of our eyes
That one day we would drink of the truth

In the daylight, in the sunlight, in the heat of high noon
You can hear me roar
Standing tall to greet the Lord
I sound my righteous horn so the world will know
That sins of our fathers will never be forgot
‘Til the debt that we owe
By the blood of the innocent spilled in the sand
Do we pay, lest our blessed souls one day be damned
